If they plan and trying to revive it again you can damn well expect the whole internet to let their voice be heard yet again.Nick Garrett / This would be a disaster if it ever got paessd, I’ve known about SOPA and PIPA for a while now and I witnessed all of the sites that went Dark in protest to it.

More acts will come, probably with some sugar-coating to make them look less hardline than this one while doing the same things. You mustn’t let them ‘compromise’ on something that is clearly inherently wrong to begin with. Keep exposing the lies and propaganda, keep fighting the corporate mentality at every step and keep advocating our freedoms. That goes for Gamefront and that goes for everybody reading this. Don’t let them even partially win on this because as soon as they get even a sniff of movement they’ll barge their way through the doors.That said, you cannot let this sort of thing be forgotten.

Daniel PitneyMon, 01 Oct 2012 12:53:00 +0000http://www.gamefront.com/?p=147072#comment-292552It's not 'good news' that SOPA is finding itself on the scrap heap, along with ACTA and every other one of these moronic attempts at censoring the internet out of a desperate, delusional line of "copyright theft" (which is itself a complete oxymoron). The only people who ever supported this were those who either had no concept of how the internet operates or who had major entertainment companies in their pockets. Every one of these bills will die because the overwhelming majority of internet users - at least those clued in on the nature of these bills and the ideology behind them - will not accept them. Even American and British politicians are, for the most part, not stupid enough to anger THAT many people. They can just about get away with a few hundred thousand protesters or a couple of million signing a petition, but opposition to these schemes is on a different stratosphere. That's why I don't consider it 'good news', not because it isn't 'good' but because I considered it inevitable, the last bastions of common sense and integrity fighting through.

Seriously, SOPA is living on borrowed time, and PIPA is going to get killed as soon as SOPA dies.If it bleeds….we can kill it.

Kind of like Duke Nukem Foever. Also, there's still PIPA to worry about in the Senate. Just remember that even though this is good news, it’s just postponed, not dead. It could still come back.
